The compact -will mean a sav
ing of about $2,400,000 a year
to the telegraph companies.
The Western Union has a capi
tal stock of $100,000,000. It has
1,184,557 miles of wire and 24,
--000 offices. It handles about 68,
--000,000 messages a year. Its in
come is $29,033,635 and the net

The Postal company's common
stock pays 2 per cent, and its pre
ferred 4 per cent.
Rlplinger had charge of $100,
--000 in" the fund. The booku show
that about f60.000 of this
amount was disbursed legitimate
ly. About $16,000 of the fund
was found deposited in a local
bank, and it is believed that the
remainder all found its way in
to the absconding comptroller's
pocket.
When Riplinger's defalcations
was first reported, It was said
that the total was less than $20,
--000. Later the officials declar
ed that his $10,000 bond would
more than cover his peculatione,

public today, show that he stole
more than twice the amount of

two sailors of the Hawaiian liner
Misourl barely escaped drowning
last night, midway between the
St. Paul mill docks and the Fose
boathouee. Shortly after dark,
when they were returning to

their sail, which was lashed down,
and threw the little craft over
ontp her side, spilling the men in
to the water.
However, they caught hold of
the gunwale and hung on until
one of Fobs' boats came to the
rescue and took them ashore none
the worse for the wetting. The
capsized boat belongs to the Foss
